the curry is GOOD stuff , I personally go with the green one, more spicy more kick. The yellow 65Nt one is perfect for non spicy lovers, its not just veges, theres chicken inside too! tad on the sweet side imho.

rice balls and beverage , 39NT combo , depends on the drinks, sometimes they go nuts and combo it with milk so its a no brainer Wasabi salmon rice ball is nice imho.

stay the F away from the beef/chicken japanese rice bowls, the beef bowl taste like crap and the chicken bowl is MSG ladened .... i learned it the hard way

For noodle lovers:

the zhonghua cold noodles with a salad is above average for me (39NT, 2 varieties, I like the blue one better) , u get 10NT off now if u pick it up with a 35NT salad

beef soup noodles , pretty average imho...

beef fried noodles, ok once in a while, small serving, tasty but damn salty too

microwave food packs @3 for 75NT

try having the green spag with the pork fried rice and fried dumplings , eat the sphags first, use the leftover sauce to coat the dumplings or rice, pretty decent imho.

You can live here and have a great life and not be the least bit into living the local life. Clowns will try to diss you for it saying you gotta get down with the program, but fuck em, treat this place like a buffet and yous be on a diet. Take what you want and nothing extra, slam those oysters, but leave the bread sticks and dinner rolls behind. - Deuce Dropper

I like some of the triangle sandwiches, specifically the one with three thin sandwiches in it; one with an egg and the other two with a slice of ham. Moist and delicious!

I also like to triangle rice sandwiches. I'd stay away from the rou son (shaved pork) ones though. Too sweet and has a gritty texture I don't particularly enjoy. The tuna is probably the best.

I'd stay away from the liang mian (cold sesame noodles) though. I love these from small neighborhood shops, but once I bought one from 7 and got real sick.

If you are cheapskate beer drinker like me, apparently you can buy a case of Taiwan beer in advance, and just take a few beers at the store whenever you'd like. I haven't done this yet, but there is another local guy who I occasionally have a beer with outside 7 who told me about it.

A straight hostile offense towards New-Orleans citizens as to the Chicken community.

I have been here for less than a week. I like the familiarity of the 7-Eleven already, but I'm also already a little perplexed by them. I actually rather like the spicy beef noodles, but they seem to be often out of stock. But they always have plenty of weird gravy-drenched looking things in stock, which look execrable to me and also which I cannot imagine being part of an Asian diet. Are these meant for foreign customers, or are they ersatz versions of western food adapted to local tastes?

Why don't they stock more of the spicy beef noodles, which must sell well, and fewer of the weird gravy things, which appear untouched between my visits?

Also, I walked into the local Family Mart today, expecting totally different stock, but the items were exactly the same, down to the AB yogourt which I have been drinking regularly in a desperate attempt to stave off the dreaded laduzi as long as possible. How can competing stores carry exactly the same products, down to the pre-made meals?

It's probably hui4fan4, quite common, cheap (and usually not particularly good) local grub. The gravy is generally a very low quality glop -- I imagine they make it with cornstarch, water, and little else.
